Ryan Simonton, the city attorney, to verify the information he received from Tim but has not heard back from him yet. High Street Festival- Director McKenzie spoke with Vincent Kitch, who said the date is proposed for sometime in April or May. Vice-Chair Jeanne Hagan asked when the date will be finalized. Director McKenzie said that Vincent would keep him informed. Vice-Chair Hagan is concerned that it may interfere with Main Streets Arts Walk. I will make sure I keep you all informed of any new details. Pay-By-Phone- Director McKenzie asked the board if they wanted a pay-by-phone representative to give a presentation. Pay-By-Phone is pushing the idea of the MPA offering two apps, Parkmobile and Pay-By-Phone. Director McKenzie stated that he is not very keen on the idea, as there would be too much confusion. Therefore, the board decided to decline the offer of the presentation. Budget Performance Report- Director McKenzie presented the budget performance reports for November and December. November 2022 revenues were $171,00, and the prior year was $169,000. December 2022 revenues were $166,000, and the preceding year, $165,000. Revenues are stable enough to start improvements, such as updating to LED lights in the garages, updating the camera system, canopies over the entrances to the parking garages, and building a coral in B lot. Director McKenzie stated that if the city doesn't pull the trigger on the corral this year, we may go ahead and build it ourselves. Chairman McEwuen agreed that we give the city a date to have it completed if they don't, we do it ourselves. Chairman McEwuen asked if we could get a ballpark figure on the cost of the coral. Director McKenzie stated that the original proposal was around $20,000-$25,000. Director McKenzie stated that on the 21st of February, the city had scheduled a quarterly Department Head leadership retreat. Director McKenzie said the MPA investments are approximately $540,000, and operating cash is about $1. 7 million. Director McKenzie informed the board of the grates being replaced at the Spruce Street entrance of the garage. Director McKenzie stated that we still don't know where we are with the new truck, and a decision will need to be made on whether we wait or look elsewhere.
